[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1522536, member: 28854"] That "non answer" to his question was exactly that because there is no way in haydes that you could practice what you did. Shooting at a running animal of any sort at 400+ yards unless it has already been wounded is pure bull because there is no way you can tell us you have or are prepared for something like that. You don't have a precise distance to know the elevation or the speed of the animal to make a precise killing shot unlike the preparation it takes to shoot at distances at a standing animal like you're mentioning. This website is about shooting standing animals at long distances after many hours of practice along with knowing how to dope the wind, getting exact distances, the drop of a particular bullet used in a particular rifle that has all been meticulously calculated. Even then mistakes can and will be made. However, please don't even try to compare that with a wish and a prayer at a running antelope at 400+ yards like you did and call it skill. The latter is just plain foolish with absolutely no skills or practice of any type that could make it more than a wish and a prayer! I hope you've also noticed that my posts are still up regarding this and there has been no moderation intervention! I also see you have been on this site for just three weeks, so maybe you should sit back for a while and learn what the site is all about because it's sure not about plinking away at running animals at 400+ yards and calling that a skill!
